That basement is the stuff of envy

And yet, on 9/11/04, the American jingoism machine was in full swing and we were ass-deep into the Iraq war quagmire that at that point had claimed the lives of far fewer people than Bibi's genocide in Gaza, and PLENTY of people were openly stating the things the OP seems to deride, sooo 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reminds me of Juan Uribe's beer-soaked "I LOVE CHICAGO" 21 years ago. I love this team so much.

So grateful for Len Kasper to brilliantly paint the picture of my beloved Sox sweeping the 'Stros for old time's sake 21 years later. Go Sox.

I believe it was in Barcelona when I encountered escalators that were motion-activated. Simply stunning (and somewhat startling) to my uninitiated American brain. That's gotta save lots on energy costs.

Help me raise some money for my kids’ elementary school! Buy one of these large DRAW pins and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to their arts magnet school! Do it for the kids! www.harebraineddesign.com/collections/...

Black enamel pin with red type that says “DRAW” and white lettering underneath that says “To keep kids off generative AI” in the style of DARE program tees.

Wow, outstanding work by the Chicago city council! Maybe the single greatest thing that body's ever done. Would love to see the breakdown of alders who spearheaded and supported this idea.

That's to say, that OBL would've actually been wrong had GWB not pursued Daddy's approval in "finishing the job" in Iraq.

Chris Cwiak @chriscwiak.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Good thread. I wonder, though, how much of American reticence for war in the Mideast in general was borne by the war in Afghanistan or GWB's hamfisted WMD nonsense & the ensuing Iraq War?

Chris Cwiak @chriscwiak.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Wow, that whole article was a masterclass in journalistic & editorial malpractice. In addition to Fran opining on the council, she offers no context on O'Shea's assertion that the police academy is empty w/city's violent crime numbers at 60-year lows nor pushback on maybe CPD being financial bloat.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Absolutely am going to set up a family road trip to Dollywood, and if I have my way, her music will accompany us the entire way there & back again. Thanks for all you did for the world, Miss Parton.
